Arkansas prosecutor finds justified use of deadly force by police against 35-year-old Aaron Watson during high-speed chase.
A prosecutor in Arkansas ruled that the use of deadly force by an Arkansas State Police trooper and three Benton police officers against 35-year-old Aaron Watson was justified. The January 1 incident followed a high-speed chase from Benton to Little Rock, during which Watson, wanted by the U.S. Marshals, fired at officers after they employed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention to stop his vehicle. Watson was killed in the exchange; no officers were injured.
